The latest big brand in Bodrum is one of the world’s most luxurious - and eco-friendly.

Banyan Tree’s reputation for luxury with an emphasis on sustainability has turned them into a global brand, with 30 resorts and hotels in 28 countries. Now, they’re partnering with a top local developer to create a beachfront hotel residence in Yalikavak - and offering investors and lifestyle buyers the chance to get in at the ground floor with rock-bottom prices, which are tipped to appreciate by 50% before completion the 2018 completion date.

On the shores of Yalikavak

Banyan Tree’s emphasis on luxury design and discreet service has earned it a well-deserved reputation around the globe, and its ethos will fit right in on the Yalikavak seafront.

The pretty harbour town has always been famous for its sunsets and charming town centre. In recent years, it’s become one of the Aegean’s prime destinations for yachting and investment, particularly after the multi-million dollar development of the local marina - the incredible Palmarina. Now, it’s not only second-home buyers from Istanbul who flock here. Foreign investors are buying up the luxury developments that have sprung up in the area. Prices are high, and will go higher - which is why this project’s entry-level prices will appeal to those wanting the win-win combination of a dual investment in lifestyle and property.

The Banyan Tree Residences will be built on Yalikavak’s last remaining seafront bay, 12 minutes from Yalikavak centre and Palmarina, 10 minutes from Gundogan, 25 minutes from Bodrum Centre and 40 minutes from Bodrum Airport.
